• .NET Development Generated TableAdapter does not create methods for manualy entered commands

  If I create a tableadapter from a simple query, the corresponding Insert/Update/Delete commands are created, and the generated underlying class has matching methods created also.  That's fine. However, I am creating a TableAdapter from a query using joins from multiple tables.  In order to update the primary table, I have then manually written the Insert/Update/Delete SQL and set the appropriate paramerers. In this latter version, the generated TableAdapter class does NOT get the corresponding insert() & delete() methods created. Is there some way of forcing these to be generated, or some guidelines on when methods will and will not be generated Thanks in advance Tim No, i ...Show All

• Windows Forms Can I store a bitmap file in a globally accessable file, instead of a form's imagelist?

  Hello, I am aware of the methods for storing images in an imagelist that resides on a form. But sometimes my tree node does not have the form's pointer. I would like to store some of my bitmaps in a globally accessable singleton object. Has anyone done this Thanks for the help! Bob The underlying Windows TreeView common control only supports tree node images via the TreeView's ImageList. You don't need a reference to the Form in order to load a bitmap into a tree node. myTreeView.ImageList = new ImageList(); myTreeView.ImageList.Add(Image.FromFile(@"C:\directory\subdirectory\filename.ext"); TreeNode node = new TreeNode("My Node"); node.ImageIndex = 0; myTreeView.Nodes ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Error displaying xaml files in the browser...

  Netters, After .NET 3.0 is installed, my understanding is that a XAML file could be used within IE just as an HTML file.

• Visual C++ Mixed mode C++/CLI idiom

  In my C++/CLI components, for each component I create a ref CLR class and a C++ class, the latter which does most of the internal processing and interfaces to the C++ standard library and 3rd party libraries such as Boost. I do this so I can use C++ libraries in my CLR component, especially when the .Net framework does not offer all the facilities which 3rd party C++ libraries have. In order to allow the C++ class to access the properties, methods, and events of the corresponding CLR class I have a pointer to the C++ class as a private member of my CLR class and dynamically create an object of the C++ class, passing a pointer ( ^ ) to the CLR object to the constructor of the C++ class, and assign the resulting C++ object to the pointer in ...Show All

• Windows Forms more than one curve?

  this is really urgent, I need help about it.. I'm drawing a curve, and taking the coordinates of the points of the curve by clicking the mouse on the picturebox. I'm using a dynamic arraylist to get the best result about it and it works really good. but the problem is, whenever I click the mouse, it give an additional point to that curve. What I want is, to finish adding points to a curve (i.e. by right clicking the mouse) and when I start to left click again, it should start drawing a new curve, and it must continue this way for every other curve. I thought that it might be useful to make an object(which has its arraylist in it) array and to let the counter rise by1 when I right-click, so that it can start drawing a new curve ...Show All
